here's what i use to comfortably manage just about everything. built it over time and during a slow day at work. i need to learn the functions to retrieve internet data better, the current stock price function is shit but it works.

basically, adjust the values for your own. as for the stock price retriever function, it's shit. go to the stocks tab, change the URL to whatever stock ticker symbol you want to watch, click okay, then right-click and refresh.

maybe ill spend some time tomorrow looking into an alternative function. if you find something better, please tell

@CouchChiller oh shit, i think i found something. rightclick on the stock ticker link, edit data range, set to refresh every 1 minute.

theres probably a better way if you want to watch more than a handful of symbols, but its fine for my purposes.

@Sir_GallonheadAt that point, your only hope is to be reinvesting all of your income into things that actively make money, such as a business.

...or just bring back dividends as the primary profit driver in investments as was the original intention before it turned into glorified gambling. You don't have to actually run a business to become a major shareholder in a small-ish local business and sit on the board.

But the funny thing is, you're still better off than standard 65+ retirees. With something like a 50% savings rate, over a 15 year horizon, the contribution from a couple % return is much less important (vs. the raw dollars you save) than when you're contributing $fuckall over 40 years.
